A YOUNG woman has revealed the realities of living in a tiny house – well and truly.
Bresha Jeanae showed off her new home on social media. Despite being on wheels, the exterior looks like a quaint cottage with white and black wood paneling.

Inside, a modern minimalist dream home was on display, with warm beige tones throughout the space.
But there was one thing that amazed everyone: her ceiling.
The ceiling was so low that even the 5-foot-10 Bresha had to crawl across her bedroom and could not stand upright.
In the clip you can see how the young woman tries to make her bed in the small space.
Making a double bed is no easy task, but to make matters worse, Bresha had to do it completely hunched over as there was no room to stand.
Bresha responded to comments: “I knew the ceiling would be this low when I bought it. The reason you can’t raise this ceiling is because this tiny house, specifically it’s considered an RV park, is always on wheels and can be moved anywhere.”
Bresha said she couldn’t raise the ceiling because her tiny home had to be 300 square feet lower to use it as an RV, which meant she didn’t have to pay property taxes.
If she were to extend the bus, she would have to pay property taxes, so she decided not to do it.
Bresha continues: “Personally, I don’t mind. The only time I regret having my bedroom there is when I have to make my bed or when I’m redecorating or something, because I have to hunch over.”
“If you suffer from claustrophobia, I strongly advise against it.”
The clip she posted on her TikTok account @breshajeanae has since gone viral with over 2 million views and 94,000 likes.
People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments below the post.
Someone wrote: “My back hurts when I see this.”
Another noted, “Yes, you avoid property taxes, but you certainly pay the cost of your back pain.”
Why I Could Never Live in a Tiny House
Tiny homes are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, especially at a time when the cost of living is falling and first-time home buyers are struggling to afford a home or current homeowners are having to pay ridiculously high mortgage rates.
Rebecca Miller, deputy editor of Fabulous, shared why she thinks living in a tiny house is a nightmare.
“I am currently in the process of selling my apartment and buying a house. As I pack all my stuff, I am worried about where it will all go – there is so much stuff!
Fortunately, I have the privilege of purchasing a house with more square footage than my current apartment.
But I started to wonder if I would ever be able to live in a small space. And the answer is no.
- Less personal space
Living with another person immediately reduces personal space, but if you take away multiple rooms, I’m left with just the bathroom as my sanctuary. I’m not sure I could do that!
- Less storage space
I’m like a magpie, I like to collect beautiful stuffand I like my stuff to be organized. With limited storage space I would find it very difficult to keep everything neat and tidy.
- Cannot play host
One of the joys of being an independent adult is being able to entertain guests – friends, family, sleepovers, and dinner parties. Where would I gather everyone for Sunday lunch if my table only holds two people? And how would I cook Sunday lunch?
- No room to grow
Both as an individual, as part of a couple and also my hobbies, can be limited by physical space. When I first moved into my apartment I was thrilled to have my own balcony, and it is a place where my love of gardening has grown. Five years later my balcony is now full of plants, and I have had to put a mini propagator in the living room!
“My claustrophobia could never go away,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “Too closed off. I would literally have a panic attack. God bless you.”
“Your little house is SO CUTE!!! And also minimalistic, I really like that!” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Go for it because I couldn’t do it.”
